Answer:
y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both expressions are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for x:
3x+5=8x+3
5=5x+3
2=5x
2/5=x
0.4=x
Now to solve y:
y=8(2/5)+3
y=16/5+3
y=3.2+3
y=6.2
Check answers:
6.2=3(0.4)+5
6.2=1.2+5
6.2=6.2
6.2=8(0.4)+3
6.2=3.2+3
6.2=6.2
Answers work, so y=6.2 and x=0.4 or (0.4,6.2) as an ordered pair
The percent decrease for 3 to .5 is 83.33%
-5h-3(10+h) = -6
-5h-30-3h = -6
Add/subtract like terms
-8h -30 = -6
Add 30 to both sides
-8h = 24
Divide by -8 to isolate h
h = -3
Hope this isn't too confusing
